Chapter 29 ⎸Clumsy
L U K E
As if my day couldn't get any worse I spill the hot coffee on myself
" Shit " I curse
I take the new coffee and head to my car, quickly grabbing a new shirt and heading back inside
I head back to Sera's lobby and hand the boiling hot coffee in my hand to mom
" See the things I do for you " , I point at my now brown shirt
" Maybe if you were paying attention you wouldn't have slipped it ",
tsk.
she takes a sip of her coffee, " oh and Sera's friend is here "
" Okay well I'm going to change my shirt because I really don't wanna smell like coffee all day " I simply respond before heading off
I hear mom chuckle in the distance
I walk up to the bathroom
" Hello ? " I knock
" Some one's in here ! "
" Okay ! "
How long does it take the average person to use the bathroom.
It's been 20 minutes
I can practice feel the coffee melting into my skin
I grunt before heading back to the lobby
" Stupid coffee " I say as I take my shirt off
I hear mumbling from the distance, " Oh Mrs. Reed I got you some tea since they didn't have any more - "
" Charlotte ? " I question
" Luke ? "
" How'd you get here and how are you in Seraphina's lobby ? "
" Well first hello, second I rode a bike, third I'm her friend. How about you huh, how do you know Seraphina ? "
" She's my sister "
" So this is why you ran off earlier , for her ? "
" Yeah, I know your upset and I'm sorry I ditched you but she - "
" Please I'm not upset, I just wished you would've told me instead of leaving me worried thinking something might happen to you "
I begin to say something but she interrupts " Remember communication is key, that's how relationships work, okay ? You don't have to tell me everything but just talk to me "
" I promise "
" Pinky promise ? "
I know Char is a firm believer of pinky promises
I hook my pink around her's
" Pinky promise "
She smiles, " now let's go find your mom because I was suppose to give her this tea that's probably now cold twelve minutes ago. "
" Right, uh I'll call her "
" Wait Luke ? "
" Yeah ? "
" Your shirt, " I follow her eyes " It isn't on "
I chuckle before throwing my shirt on
" Glad you enjoyed the show ", I wink at her , " be right back "
There's no reception in this part of the hospital so I have to go to the other side
The phone rings about three times before she picks up
